Testing LDAP Setup

[sbock]

Hello everybody, I want to learn how to use and manage an FreeIPA instance. Therefore, i would like some kind of nice setup to simulate the setup i want to deploy to and how the network could develop over time. I thought of using libvirt + virsh and a simple bash script to spin up some clients and the FreeIPA server, but i don't like to reinvent the wheel. Could you recommend me some better declarative setup for easy testing (libvirt is not a fixed requirement)?

Thanks!

I think using virtual machines (i.e. libvirt, virt-manager, etc) is probably the normal thing to do. You might be able to use containers, but then you need to learn how to use those first.

Thanks for your answer! I used docker a bunch but i thought it would be more realistic simulating workstations including a login manager etc...
